And now for dessert, I'll go Cut The Cake. | |

Their greatest hits album was called "Pickin' Up The Pieces". GREAT compilaton CD.
You may find it on eBay for a buck, too. | |

She said "Old age isn't for sissies." (sp?) | |

Posted: 4/19/2006 5:48:23 AM | Oops. My schtick has been based on my incorrect thought that you were from Scotland. AWB was a Scottish group.
However, there IS the old limerick about Guelph... | |

Posted: 4/19/2006 8:53:36 AM | | he he! I am actually from Guelph/Eramosa (system won't let me put that in), so Guelph Limericks don't apply. I was born Brit., but came to Canada as small child. | |

Posted: 4/19/2006 8:58:01 AM | Older Men Select,
Older Woman Choose
Men select not to tell the whole truth
Men select the type of woman they want and will rarely pick something outside that look
Their fave phrase "she's not my type"
Men select a comfortable mode .. rather than an expermential mode ..You can tell my their selection of clothing and creature habits...
Women will in most cases be honest with you but it may not be the truth you wanna hear.
Women choose men based a shorter list that changes with every bad relationship
Women choose to change shoes,clothing, hairstyles to stay current and fresh | |

Posted: 4/19/2006 9:01:53 AM | Actually if you DO like that kind of music, the album IS named Pickin Up The Pieces, and its the Average White Band's greatest hits. If CDs wore out, mine would be worn out. I play it constantly. Being a sax player, this is my kind of music.
And at this moment, there are about a dozen copies available on eBay in the $7-8 range.
There once was a surgeon from Guelph.... | |

Posted: 4/19/2006 11:39:14 AM | You never heard the limerick?
There once was a surgeon from Guelph
Who gave a girl's heart to an elf
Her liver and spleen
To a wounded Marine
But the good stuff he kept for himself
That has to be older than me and I'm middle 50s. | |

Posted: 4/19/2006 3:16:16 PM | | I FOR ONE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU GOT 52 HITS IN ONE DAY. HAVE YOU HAD YOUR PICTURE RATED? AND YOU'RE PLENTY BIG YOURSELF. I'M ALSO 54, AND IF YOU CONTACTED ME, I'D WRITE, BECAUSE YOU MIGHT BE A REALLY WITTY GUY, BUT I WOULD NOT DATE YOU. YOU LOOK UNHEALTHY. WAS THIS A JOKE? WERE YOU BEING IRONIC AND I'M DUMB? | |
|
| Slimmer pickin's when you get older?
Posted: 4/19/2006 3:21:25 PM | First of all, please turn your cap lock off. It's the key above the left shift key.
Second, can't anybody read? 52 hits? I said I have 52 MATCHES in my area.
Third, date whomever you please. Apparently the men are just ringing your phone off the hook, thus your presence here on POF criticizing strangers you will never meet.
Have a great life.
Alone.
PS re: Ironic and dumb. No, and yes. And you more likely meant "sarcastic". People are not ironic. Situations are ironic.
Like you criticizing me. THAT is ironic. | |

Posted: 4/19/2006 3:35:13 PM | DON'T WANNA TURN IT OFF, EDDIE.
AND I'VE BEEN DOING OKAY. IT'S NICE TO TALK TO PEOPLE, AND I'VE BEEN HAVING A GOOD TIME DOING JUST THAT. MANY PEOPLE JOIN POF FOR REASONS OTHER THAN FINDING THE "ONE". IT'S GREAT TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS ARE ABOUT INTERESTING TOPICS. I'VE BEEN A MEMBER FOR ONLY A FEW DAYS AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL OFFERS. SOME RIDICULOUS, A COUPLE I'D ENTERTAIN. ONE I'M DEFINITELY FOLLOWING UP ON.
I DON'T THINK I HAVE A BAD ATTITUDE, I MISUNDERSTOOD BECAUSE YOU DID USE THE WORD "HITS".
YOU SAID "HITS", AND I NEGLECTED TO READ MORE PAGES, I READ ONLY THE FIRST, WHERE LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE MISUNDERSTOOD, TOO.
SORRY TO ANGER YOU, BUT YOU YOURSELF CAME OFF AS PRETTY PICKY...

Posted: 4/19/2006 3:59:50 PM | | Kate.........one of the rules on the forums is no capital letters only. You may be shut down by pof if you continue. | |
|
| Slimmer pickin's when you get older?
Posted: 4/19/2006 4:29:50 PM | purely accidental, so continued. Is it really a rule? Why on earth...? I find it amusing, talk about your body parts, whether they're working or not, but whatever you do... don't do it in CAPITAL LETTERS!
I am new to POF so I do not know all the rules, I'm surprised at how X rated some things people say are!
I appreciate the heads up.

"Hit" means "a return in searching based on specified criteria". I searched for matches in my area with my criteria. I got 52 hits. Now plug in the definition of what a "hit" is, and you have it.
I got 52 matches searching with my specified criteria. I never said 52 women wrote to me. That is not a hit. That is an email.
Tomorrow we'll work on "choo choo train"..... | |

Posted: 4/19/2006 4:55:10 PM | " IM ECLITIC "
Personally I'm eclectic, and er...thrifty. Parts of my place are still decorated in "oh my Lord if you two don't stop jumping on that couch there's gonna be hell to pay." Of course a lot of that has to do with me not finding the time to recover the darn thing. Bought the fabric, batting and thread; just haven't gotten "a round toit."
I can't decide if I prefer procrastination or sarcasm as a lifestyle
Also, Good Gawd Almighty (said in my best southern, Miss Scaaaahlette accent) we all have personal preferences. Those are what make us interesting and human. I never search for a non-smoker since I really don't care for the nagging. I've raised "passive-aggressive" to an art form and don't need any more practice thank you very much. My kids, allthough grown, still live with me for financial reasons (mine and theirs). I rarely babysit since I do have a life (not much of one sometimes, but it's mine) nor do I check to see if what I have planned is okay with them. As for baggage; don't start comparing me to your ex(es), keep your negativity to yourself and we'll get along just fine. Oh, and never get between my coffee and me first thing in the morning. | |

Posted: 4/19/2006 4:59:55 PM | Eclectic, Lyn? You told me you were ELECTRIC!!!
Well, I'll see your thrifty and raise you my cheap. I squeeze a nickle until the buffalo sh!ts. People try to oil me all the time because I'm so tight I squeak. I was under background investigation once. They asked my best pal to describe my drinking habits. He told them "He never buys...."
And it would all be worth it if I had squat to show for it.... | |

Posted: 4/19/2006 5:11:05 PM | | Hope I am doing this right first post. I don't post a pic because of my job. Very stuffy and uptight. Doesn't mean I won't exchange photos. Why judge on no photo? | |

Why judge on no photo?
Just how I choose to do it. Without a photo I don't know that you aren't one of my male friends playing an elaborate practical joke. My buddies have the same warped and twisted sense of humor I do.
We once set one of the crowd up with an offer that the rest of us would pay for him to take a date out to dinner, a show at Cleveland's Playhouse Square, and all transportation would be by limo if he would just let us pick the date.
And we found him a very attractive date.
Who had a night off from the female impersonation act he did.
Now granted, you could post a phony photo, and I don't know if a practical joke would go that far or not. I simply prefer to see who I am speaking to. As it is I had a cross dresser email me here. Sent a photo complete with Adam's Apple.
So, no photo, no thanks. | |
